Question 1

Name This Actor

This man has managed to fill up his life with a lot of different roles, proving that he doesn't want to be typecast as a certain character. He has also been successful on both the big and small screen. Believe it or not, but he has a love of music, choosing to appear with other musicians on stage on a regular basis, while also putting in work when it comes to recording music for his fans. So, what's this guy's name?

Question 2

Name This Actor

While he's certainly not the most attractive man in Hollywood, this guy has enough talent that he has always been respected in film. Not all of this man's films have been total success stories, but that doesn't mean he hasn't put the work in. This is the sort of actor that doesn't need to fall back on good looks and instead can prove his worth through the acting work. We know everyone will surely recognize his face, but who can remember his name?

Question 3

Name This Actor

He started out in comedy television (remember Malcolm in the Middle?), appearing in numerous projects for a long time, even working in film as well. However, it wasn't until his work on a recent television drama that people really saw what he has to bring to the world of acting. Nobody saw it coming, which is exactly what made it even better when he proved to us all that he is one of the best actors in the modern world.

Question 4

Name This Actor

This man isn't on a lot of people's favorite actor's lists, but we don't think that's right. Not only has he put the work in on a lot of projects in the past, but he continues to try out different roles as well. He doesn't turn down work for either television or film, showing that he's not a one note actor that can only make it work on either the big screen or the small screen. That deserves some recognition!

Question 5

Name This Actor

He has put in the work on many superhero movies at this point, meaning that he has a wider audience than a lot of other people. That being said, his work outside of that has run a lot deeper, providing him with a cred that puts him in a position with a lot of other modern actors who are impressing fans and critics alike. He is also working on shows like The Night Manager and Wallander as well! What's his name?

Question 6

Name This Actor

We're not saying this man is only in the business because of the way that he looks, but it definitely helps! There are a lot of actors out there, both male and female, that have got into the business due to their good looks, but without proving they've got talent underneath it all, they wouldn't have made it too far. Through both film and television, this guy has shown us all that he certainly has some acting talent. Who remembers his name?

Question 7

Name This Actor

This guy is known for his acting, but specifically tricking people in the real world into believing that he's someone else. He's been doing it for decades at this point, so it's no surprise that he manages to do it with little to no effort at this point. Seriously, this man is able to trick anybody he sits across from. We don't think there's anyone else in film at the moment who is as good at parody as he is.

Question 8

Name This Actor

It must have been difficult for this young man to make his way into the world of Hollywood seeing as his older brother had already got himself in there years before, but he managed it! Yes, this guy is now a famous actor in his own right, not only known for having a famous brother. This is a great step forward for him, one that allows him to find work that he likely wouldn't have gotten before he created got his own fame.

Question 9

Name This Actor

While it would be a lie to say that this man hasn't blown people away with what he has brought to the big screen, it must also be said that some are uncomfortable with a couple of the roles that he has been casted in. Hollywood continues to turn away from actors that are actually going through what their characters are going through, instead choosing to take on someone who has no idea! Let's see, who can pick out his name from this list?

Question 10

Name This Actor

He has been working for years, but it was only when people saw him on the iconic TV show The Wire that this man turned into an internationally recognized star. Since then he has found further fame through his work on projects such as Luther. To this day, people continue to argue that he should be the next James Bond, despite the fact that so many people think that it would be going too far in the opposite direction to usual...

Question 11

Name This Actor

Her most recent work in The Shape Of Water put her on the radar for a lot of people who had yet to see her work, but for the real critics and film fans this was just one in a long line of impressive appearances from this woman. It is quite surprising that even with the amount of accolades that this woman has been nominated for, she continues to go pretty much unnoticed by many mainstream film fans. Nevertheless, who's able to recall her name?

Question 12

Name This Actor

While this guy is best known for his work on comedic projects, that doesn't mean he hasn't worked on other things in the past. In fact, one of people's favorite roles of his was on a dramatic film. That being said, his best known stuff is the sort of movies he's been making for his entire life, the ones that are put out there to make people laugh, whether they manage to do that or not! Can anyone name this famous funny guy?

Question 13

A comedic actor who did a lot of work on SNL, this woman has since appeared in numerous things in both television and film. She has worked behind the camera as well as in front of it, proving that she has what it takes to write comedy as well as act it. Her work on television is what has put her on everyone's radar, but she continues to put in the work across both the big screen and the small screen.

Question 14

Name This Actor

This comedy writer spent a lot of time on SNL before moving into film, where he worked both behind and in front of the camera. Then it was into the music industry, making people laugh through lyrics and instrumentals. The television show Brooklyn Nine Nine put him on the map for the mainstream audience, pushing him out of the independent market. He's now well wanted by a lot of people in TV as well as film. So, what's his name?

Question 15

Name This Actor

It's always nice to find out that somebody has more to them than was originally thought. Honestly, there's too much vanity in this world so it's good to see someone disprove that sort of stereotype, even if it was us stereotyping him! Guess his name!

Question 16

Name This Actor

She worked for a long time on SNL, as a writer and an actor, putting in the work that got her known across the US. Her next big project was Mean Girls, which threw her into the big time, followed by various other films that never really took off properly. Then, he television show 30 Rock got major attention. Not only is it funny, but it's satirical and smart in a way that many other shows try to be. What's her name?

Question 17

Name This Actor

Unlike many other women on this list, Swinton seems to have struggled due to the way she looked, for not conforming to a stereotype that many other Hollywood actors do.

Who here is able to remember the name of this famous actress?

Question 18

Name This Actor

This man has been acting for a long time at this point, but a lot of people didn't know much about him until he found his big break on The Office US.

Crazy to think that somebody in the acting world can see their work change so dramatically!

Question 19

Name This Actor

Look, we know that this man has been on the scene for a very long time, but did he really prove himself to be worth watching until his work on a recent Marvel movie? Until that point, he sort of stayed with a lot of romantic comedies and doing interviews in magazines that have commented on how good looking he is.

Question 21

Name This Actor

This guy has mostly worked in action movies for years at this point, and while that isn't all he's done, it's definitely what he's known for. Star Trek is at the top of the list, but his work also includes comic book movies such as Wonder Woman. A lot of people would look down on an actor that only works on movies like this, but that doesn't mean it takes no acting talent. This guy keep being hired for a very good reason!

Question 22

Name This Actor

He may have started out working on film as a child, but he was able to move away from this as he got older by appearing in much more risky projects.

Can anyone remember this guy's name?

Question 24

Name This Actor

Question 25

Name This Actor

This guy has been working in both music and film for decades at this point, attempting to make people laugh as much as possible. While it's true that most of his work has been centred around this sort of thing, it would be a lie to say that he hasn't tried to branch out, putting himself out as a dramatic actor that has what it takes to take on some very serious work when he wants to. This man is not a one trick pony!

Question 26

Name This Actor

This guy really got his big break once he was cast and put in great acting work on a funny TV show named Arrested Development. But that doesn't mean he should only be known for that.

He works mainly in comedy movies, but has also worked on more serious projects such as Juno and Ozark which highlight his ability as an actor beyond making an audience laugh!

Question 27

Name This Actor

After appearing in a famous movie trilogy, this guy was wanted by everyone in Hollywood, going on to appear in a series of pirate movies afterwards. People haven't been too kind to him in the years since then, but he has proven that he has a good sense of humor when it comes to making fun of himself, and we don't think he'll have to do much work after the blockbusters he's appeared in in the past! What's his name?

He had two shows that took his name before returning to stand up and making various appearances on the big screen as well. While writing and stand up will always be what he's best known for, it's impossible to argue that the acting world hasn't hosted him before. Who can name him?

Question 30

Name This Actor

After working on a long running sitcom, one of the most popular sitcoms of all time, it was fairly impossible for this woman to find work that didn't typecast her. She appeared in a handful of movies and television shows, but it wasn't until the past few years or so that she managed to get her mojo back, working on a show that propelled her back into the mainstream limelight. Let's see if anyone is able to remember this actress' name.

Who can remember the name of this successful actor?

Question 35

Name This Actor

There is pretty much nothing this woman can't do. Sure, she's a great comedy actor, but she has also put a lot of work in as a voice actor. Throw in the fact that she has a past in the world of music and it's impossible to see where this woman could go wrong to be honest.
